Review and Tasting


Sampled on 07/10/2012

Appearance:

Clear, mid golden amber with bright gold highlights.

Aroma:

Christmas pudding fruitness and stewed pineapple with nutty sherry, honeyed grassy malt with new wardrobe oak/cedar wood and faint apple fruit and nectarine skin.

Taste:

Honeyed oaky palate with rich barley water, grilled brazil nut, walnut husk, apple and pear salad, popcorn, rolling tobacco and mild spice.

Aftertaste:

Red berry fruit emerges on a long slightly waxy, walnut husk finish with cream of soda vanilla, bitter cocoa and delicate cinnamon and clove spice. A brilliantly balanced, easy drinking dram.
